Hometown: North Providence
Website: Ant’ny Central
Bio: Imagine that the famous Santa Claus is your older brother… He’s in charge of the family business – he gets all the thanks, all the praise, and all the press.
Meanwhile, you – his not-so-little little brother – languish in obscurity. You get to do all the dirty work, while big brother gets the glory gigs.
Those days are over – because it’s time for Ant’ny to step out of the shadows… He’s been checking his list… Naughty, nice, it really doesn’t matter – everyone takes some lumps (and we’re not talking coal here) when you invite Ant’ny Claus to your holiday party… It’s a chestnut-free roast, and a rip-roaring good time!
You are invited to stalk Ant’ny on Facebook.
Note: “Ant’ny Claus” is the seasonal alter ego of Frank O’Donnell - invented to add a little something special to holiday parties. Special mention to Amy Pontes and Kim Alessandro, who suffer seasonally as Ant’ny’s wife at different venues – one sings, one does not. You’ll have to ask them who does what.
Coming in December 2011: A full-scale theatrical production revolving around Ant’ny’s holiday troubles. Stay tuned!
